Thiogamma^® 600 oral

Application area

Dysaesthesia in diabetic polyneuropathy.

Dosage and use

In dysaesthesia in diabetic polyneuropathy the recommended daily dosage for adults is film-coated tablet Thiogamma^® 600 oral (equals 600 mg alpha-lipoic acid), that should be taken in doses approximately 30 minutes before the first meal of the day. In sever dysaesthesia, an initial treatment using alpha-lipoic acid infusions may be suitable.

Thiogamma^® 600 oral film-coated tablets should be taken whole with sufficient fluid on an empty stomach. The simultaneous consumption of food may hinder resorption. It is therefore particularly important in patients with a prolonged stomach emptying time that the tablets are taken half an hour before breakfast.

As diabetic polyneuropathy is a chronic disease, long-term therapy may be required.
